As you know, Apple’s project to create a proprietary wireless charging AirPower was curtailed due to technical insolvency. The block overheated in case of charging several gadgets at the same time and had other disadvantages. However a month ago it became is knownthat the AirPower project is not completely abandoned and continues to evolve.
Yesterday, Twitter user Jon Prosser reportedthat Apple engineers from the Sharing and Proximity team got new prototypes of wireless charging company called C68 for work. Below is a snapshot of a possible prototype. To avoid Apple claims, the picture is blurry, so the source has to take a word.

The most interesting thing is that the author of the tweet claims that the Apple charger model now uses the A11 processor from the company’s smartphones in 2017. The A11 processor is supposedly responsible for the dynamic protection of charging from overheating. Perhaps the main problem with charging Apple is that the electromagnetic coil in the Apple Watch is quite small and requires a more intense field to charge the battery.
As an option to solve this problem, it is proposed to determine the position of the clock (coil) on the charging pad and “focus” the electromagnetic field in this area. According to Prosser, the Apple A11 processor will also do this.
While working from home, engineers on Apple’s ‘Sharing and Proximity’ team are receiving prototype units of something called “C68“.
They are being asked work on software communication between devices for a “future product” that has an A11 inside to “dynamically manage heat”. pic.twitter.com/q4UvnF4ksx

Apple AirPower wireless charging debuted in 2017 and was canceled 19 months later on the grounds that she “Did not meet the high standards of the company”. In fact, it overheated when trying to charge several gadgets at the same time. Whether the device shown in the photo will become an updated AirPower, the author of the tweet did not clarify. Analysts expect Apple to release a smaller charge, which may happen before the end of this year.
